I can't say it's any worse than the official forums for most games though.

Has anyone tried a sword/sword Mesmer build? I've been trying the Greatsword and sword/pistol mantra build and it seems decent, but I miss the healing of Ether Feast.
Hit level 70. Still waiting for a good drop from Tequatl, but at least the items make up for the travel cost.

Bioware forums: Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.
Here's a guy who also made up a Scepter/Mace Burn guardian build: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfyT3J7XOms
His build: http://en.gw2skills.net/editor/?fUE...rSR80HWBMC;T4AgyCuoYywkgJLTOmkMtAZUwpgNIvCmCA
He's using spirit weapons, and the spirit weapons cause burning trait. I tried those a few days ago myself, but I really just don't like spirit weapons. They are annoying to keep up, and they feel cheap when playing against.

Blizzard forums were a special kind of special.
The Spirit Weapons should be great, but they seem far too situational. The shield should be great, but it's stationary and doesn't stop AOE damage, and most of the ranged damage is AOE based :\

This is a HUGE update!
I can't fathom what they will consider a big update if this is small.
Nice!

Prepare for wipes.
I'm probably being a little pessimistic (from my perspective) but I actually take that to mean that the average difficulty was scaled dramatically down and thus wipes won't be all that common except on the toughest paths. But who knows. Definitely psyched to try some runs tonight! I like the change either way... waypoint zerging sucks.

Quick download for me, time to check it out.
Daily Achievement seems... wierd, but im liking some of the laurel rewards.

Yeah I ran sword/sword on a shatter build and it was fine. The iSwordsman hits pretty hard and is an ethereal combo finisher so that's always nice. The block is decent but hard to use and the clone generation off that is unreliable. Since you'll be in melee range the entire time you need illusionary persona and the clone on dodge trait. I don't really play much anymore but I recently changed back to the sword/pistol set up because of the stun and slightly easier to use phantasm.

Wow.. it's VERY detailed. It's a little harder to read at a glance but contains much more specific info.
Note that the block is also an AoE line daze if you tap it again
Really interested to see this.

Yeah I forgot about the daze. It's pretty useless though at least as an interrupt.
I might have to login now to see if Orr is any different. No rich ori in Southsun Cove makes the entire zone pretty useless.
While true guesting to other regions might not be possible without a severe rework of their DB architecture, based on how it was described I could see them eventually implementing an "international" world with reduplication, that either region's players could guest on. It's not exactly a quick and easy job but I think it's totally possible in theory.Now I regret moving back to the EU servers.
I seriously hope ArenaNet is looking into making guesting to other regions possible.
Kristen said that enabling people to play cross-region somehow is something they've always considered to be possible, just very complex and not cost-effective for right now. I definitely wouldn't be surprised if they implement it eventually.
Wonder why they moved the Broodmother event in Orr? I always liked that field.
I personally think that sword/sword is one of the more powerful weapon sets for a mesmer. I was able to use all the abilities effectively besides for illusionary leap in dungeons as it was mostly a shatter fodder generator.
It's still considered a farm zone for everyone that has been farming there.

Oh shit. Best item in the game gets better o.o
edit: Ahh thanks for the screen! Man that's like twice as many numbers
Re: Southsun, a consistently-placed regular node is still worthwhile to hit up. It's easier to get to than the Orr ones for me anyway (and I don't necessarily know where they are

Thanks for the tips on sword/sword. I was reading about you guys trying D/D on Eles so I was wondering if sword/sword was viable for Mesmers. I do like sword/pistol a lot but do sometimes miss the blocking when I get focused.
Was the Pistrix skill challenge bugged? I was lucky to not encounter any problems (found some people doing it and managed to find the entrance in time to get credit for it).

Edit: whoops
Sword/pistol is effective but feels limited (because I'm lazy) because pistol is a ranged off-hand while the sword requires you to melee. Scepter on the other-hand doesn't quite feel right with how crisp the pistol offhand animations "feel" compared to how the scepter swings.
Pistrix always seemed to bug out when players "ran" from the fight. You have to fight a veteran(?) shark and two adds which is overwhelming for some classes underwater. Running means they follow and eventually pass certain boundaries in which they become land sharks.
Sword/sword's definitely viable. Just grab the Blade Training trait (which gains another 40% in usefulness). Since you'll be in melee anytime you're using that set, the block + Blurred Frenzy makes you something of a top-tier "tank," in a bizarre way. You can hold aggro in melee pretty reliably. Definitely recommend Deceptive Evasion unless you can't afford it, for when you need to roll out and recover.
The only time I ever went to Pistrix it was working fine, but I've heard it described as the most consistently-bugged point in the game. I think it's funny that they just killed him and have you tag his corpse for the SP now. Better be belly up or I'm canceling my sub
edit: I will never relinquish my Scepter, court! dat dodge offset

Why did they count WvW for 100 percent completion? WHY??? It's a nightmare trying to get poi's in there with enemy servers just trying to kill me at every opportunity
Sort of. Dungeons are actually kind of a complete wildcard right now. The fact that you can't respawn and they've tuned everything to match kind of means all bets are off, I really don't know what to expect.
